You can now set Gmail as the default mail service in Chrome so that email links automatically open in Gmail instead of a native email client on your computer. To enable this feature, just hit Use Gmail if you spot the below message while in Gmail, or you can just follow the steps here: http://goo.gl/0S9zS.

Curious ... got message bar above in Chrome browser on my laptop this AM where I primarily use my personal email. Did not get it on my work desktop where we use Google Apps for Business. Does admin have to allow?﻿

Are there any ways to manage handlers manually? Or is a user required to go to a website to "install" the handler? Also, are these handlers synced when I use Chrome Sync? Thanks for the information, it looks like a great start!﻿

+michael boston Google Chrome is a "Work In Progress" New features are added every day! If you were asking why isn't this enabled by default, not all people use Gmail, and they might want to use another e-mail provider instead. Plus, Google likes to give it's users choice.﻿

+Randy Hoopes I'm on the dev build of chrome with the new settings pages, but this should be pretty similar: Wrench>Under The Hood> Content Settings> go the the handler sections and click Manage handlers. Then you can remove and handlers that you don't want enabled in Chrome.﻿

I love it INSIDE Chrome. However, I did not like it when it captured an email address I was copying inside outlook and opened a new email inside Chrome. How comes it captured something going on outside Chrome?﻿

+Vahid Masrour This is because you are setting Chrome as the default program for the MAILTO protocol. To verify this, go to the control panel, then programs, default programs, then associate a file type or protocol with a program. After the list loads, you can see that Chrome is the default program for all MAILTO links. I'm not sure if this is the desired outcome of this handler, but I personally like it. If you would like to use Gmail for MAILTO links ONLY inside Chrome, then you can install an extension for that: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pgphcomnlaojlmmcjmiddhdapjpbgeoc﻿

im just wondering if that outlook is still helpful. i just never try it, every time i wanna use it, just frastrated by the complicated setting. i just wondering is their any services that no need to setup just enter ur add and pin and use it straight way, no more setting, easy managing of multimails.﻿

since last two weeks whenever i open chrome on my mac, the system get hanged and i have to force quit the computer.. due to which i have completely stop using chrome. as i used to browse all stuff thru it.. it seems really uneasy for me from other browser.. any particular reason or is this only with me ??? as i have already reinstall my operating system twice...﻿

Occasionally, but use the Gmail app on my Android phone (HTC HD2 from the 90's), more than I do on-line (via a desktop) and Outlook is still our choice for desktop emailing, mainly so my emails don't have adverts in them (doesn't look very professionally otherwise) and of course business domain names []^_^]

Is there any other options for say business/serious email users, for those with their own domain name email address and not wanting adverts using a Google related products? Would actually make life that much easier for us and would not need MS Office any more, as we're already using Google Docs, Contacts, Shared Calendars, etc ()^_^)﻿

Pssst! +Google Chrome ! I love your browser, and I love the new mailto feature so I can stop using third party extensions for that. But after one of your recent updates, Reader has not been displaying properly. The titles are now mostly obscured in the title area on top of posts. (I checked on Firefox and it is not happening there.)﻿
